The proposed tax on firearms and ammunition in Cook County previously reported###here###was voted on by the Cook County Board Finance Committee today. ###The original proposal to tax firearms sales at $25 per firearm has been amended to remove the ammunition sales tax but the firearm tax remained.### Today’s vote was crucial but preliminary.### There is one final opportunity to defeat this misguided and burdensome tax. ###Please contact the Cook County Board of Commissioners TODAY and demand they remove this tax from the final budget when it comes up for a vote on November 16.######
